All new employees at Chubb Group of Insurance Companies take microinequities training, which makes them aware of what messages they might unconsciously be sending to people of different backgrounds.

Increasing the number of women and people of color in its upper ranks tops the list of this property and casualty insurer’s diversity objectives. leading that charge is its minority Development council, which offers an on-boarding program to acclimate new hires to the corporate culture and makes mentoring and sponsorship available to those with leadership potential. More specifically, its women of color corporate Strategy helps multicultural women foster strong relationships with management, urging them to create structured development plans and granting them prominent assignments to make them more competitive professionally. Diversity councils and committees in Chicago, Los Angeles and Phoenix help keep the focus on the recruitment and retention of multicultural employees. At headquarters, female stars bond by participating in the Chubb Partnership of Women, a group of 680 employees who exchange ideas (and business cards) over networking luncheons and attend educational seminars and leadership events. Employees who eye advanced college degrees can request tuition aid (there’s no maximum); however, anyone can attend the company’s own learning seminars.
